Mon nom est Yeine, j'ai dix-neuf ans. Je suis membre du peuple darrène, au Nord des Cent Mille Royaumes. Une barbare. Il y a un mois, ma mère a été assassinée. Elle était l'héritière des Arameris, la plus puissante famille du monde. Ce matin, j'ai reçu un message de l'empereur, mon grand-père : une invitation à venir séjourner à Ciel, le palais familial. Plus qu'une invitation, un ordre. Je veux découvrir pourquoi ma mère est morte. Même si on ne revient jamais de Ciel.

The debut series from the double Hugo Award-winning N. K. Jemisin, author of The Fifth Season
For two thousand years the Arameri family has ruled the world by enslaving the very gods that created mortalkind. Now the gods are free, and the Arameri's ruthless grip is slipping. Yet they are all that stands between peace and world-spanning, unending war.
Shahar, last scion of the family, must choose her loyalties. She yearns to trust Sieh, the godling she loves. Yet her duty as Arameri heir is to uphold the family's interests, even if that means using and destroying everyone she cares for.
As long-suppressed rage and terrible new magics consume the world, the Maelstrom - which even gods fear - is summoned forth. Shahar and Sieh: mortal and god, lovers and enemies. Can they stand together against the chaos that threatens the kingdom of gods?
The Inheritance Trilogy begins with The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, continues in The Broken Kingdoms and concludes in The Kingdom of Gods.
